33 years old today. contemplating how i’m showing up for my younger selves now that im learning self love. i’m healing a lot of what the kid in these slides experienced by nurturing and loving them, and embracing the qualities they held true to in order to become me. i’m proud of all the versions of me that have existed and im hopeful for what i will change into next.
i don’t know why i was put here but if ive affected your life, thank u for making room for me. it means more than you know.

a week ago i worked my first tattoo convention as a tattooer. it feels to beautiful to be able to experience the magic of tattooing and be surrounded by my friends/peers who love it just as much as i do. thank you to the clients who came and talked to us, got tattooed, took a pin or sticker. thank u to my shop mates and @cece.pokes for getting us there. thank you to all my tat pals. i love and admire you all so much. i never thought id have a family of tattooers. what a dream <3
there’s too many tattoos to post. too many phases of life i went through to narrow it down to 20 photos. so many ups and downs. but at the moment we are very up. so here’s to that.
thank you to literally every single one of you who got tattooed by me this year. i am honored beyond measure. it’s not just what keeps bread on my table. its my favorite thing in the world and I couldn’t do it without u all. happy new year. see you at @nodicetattoo 🎲❤️
